Hi Team
As with the rulings that can apply to an inheritance money being used for a home purchase (to live in) for someone who is on IR ESA, & them being able to keep their benefits. Do you know if the same rulings/logic can apply to someone who may be able to cash in a deferred occupational pension(before pension age) for the purposes of being able to secure a home. ? I understand that if tax is payable on a lump sum, then the amount can appear as Income, but would you know , if this income could follow the same possible exemptions if used for the said purposes.
Sorry to ask such a difficult question.
